Celebrate National Read a Book Day! Just grab a book and spend some time reading. It's a great way to reduce stress and research shows that reading helps to improve memory and concentration. Older adults who devote time to reading tend to participate in more mentally stimulating activities over their lifetimes and show less cognitive decline over time.

Books are an affordable form of entertainment, a great educational tool, and a pleasant escape from the demands of everyday life! In a world where technology rules, National Read a Book Day invites us to silence the noise by turning pages for a while.
